How to play against Lux
Lane and teamfight rules that hold regardless of your pick.
In lane and in teamfights
- Push early waves so she has to spend spells on minions instead of poke.
- Stand outside the wave to make E choose between harass and wave control.
- Delay burst until W fades, then commit damage before she can refresh distance.
- Enter river through spread angles so Q cannot catch two teammates at once.
- Clear vision before sieges and avoid walking in straight lines through choke points.
Where Lux is weak
Exploit these in draft and in lane.
- Lux depends on linear skillshots for control, so lateral movement and spread formations reduce her pick threat.
- Lux has poor self-peel once enemies reach her, making her long-range poke identity collapse under dive.
